The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 350: He Wants Her to Be With Him_1

The phone rang a few times before being answered. Dongfang Yu knew it was her calling, and he asked directly, “What’s up?”

Hai Xiaotang replied calmly, “Aren’t you coming to settle the case? When are you coming?”

“I’m busy right now, wait a bit.”

“How lon…” she didn’t get to finish.

Buzz, buzz—

Dongfang Yu had hung up before Hai Xiaotang finished speaking.

Hai Xiaotang was speechless and could only continue to wait.

But after another half hour of waiting, Dongfang Yu still hadn’t shown up. Hai Xiaotang had been tempted to leave, but she didn’t want to owe him anything, so she chose to keep waiting.

Finally, just before noon, Dongfang Yu arrived, late as usual.

Meanwhile, Hai Xiaotang had been waiting for him all morning.

Upon seeing him, Hai Xiaotang said calmly, “Don’t you know that other people’s time is also precious? Next time, no, there won’t be a next time!”

Of course, Dongfang Yu understood what she meant, she was upset that he came too late.

He glanced at her and replied dismissively, “I thought you didn’t realize that other people’s time is equally precious!”

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, instantly grasping his meaning.

Was he blaming her for not showing up that day and making him wait an entire day?

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but retort, “Who said I had to be there? You didn’t tell me I had to go!”

Dongfang Yu sneered, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t referring to that.”

Then what was it?

Aside from that time, when had she ever made him wait?

Hai Xiaotang was bewildered, but if he wouldn’t tell her, she wasn’t going to ask.

And so, the two people, who couldn’t stand each other, went to settle the case.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, her phone rang.

At the same time, Dongfang Yu’s phone also started to ring.

They each answered their phones. Hearing the voices on the other end, they turned to look at each other!

Hai Xiaotang asked in surprise, “You received the message too?”

Although she didn’t say what the news was, Dongfang Yu knew what she was referring to.

He simply said, “I’m going to check it out now.”

“I’m going too!” Hai Xiaotang instinctively said.

Dongfang Yu replied tersely, “Then hurry up!”

With that, he strode off, got into his car, and drove away. Hai Xiaotang was left standing there, stunned, before she finally realized he meant for her to come with him.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t have a car and didn’t know the way. This wasn’t the time to be picky.

She hesitated for a moment, then opened his car door and got in.

Dongfang Yu immediately started the car and headed towards L County in C City.

They were going there because both of them had received a call from the police station, saying that Hai Zhiyuan’s car had been found in that area.

Finally, there was some news about grandfather. But the police only found the car, not the man.

Hai Xiaotang nervously gripped the seat belt, terrified something might have happened to her grandfather.

She had seen plenty of mystery films. On TV, when someone disappeared, it usually meant they had been victimized.

The police would first find their clothing or their car, and then they would find the body nearby…

Hai Xiaotang was really scared the same would happen to her.

Perhaps sensing her unease, Dongfang Yu suddenly said in a deep voice, “Regarding the truth from 30 years ago, your grandfather already told me. I know it wasn’t him!”

Hai Xiaotang was shocked, he knew after all.

But why bring it up now?

Focusing on the road ahead, Dongfang Yu said, “So I’m sorry about the past! To make it up, I’ll help find your grandfather.”

So that was why he needed to go check out the scene as well.
